Forest’s former midfielder turned television pundit expects both sides to battle out a 1-1 draw at the City Ground, which would be Forest’s first in the Championship, and leave Ian Holloway’s side still searching for their first win on the road.

QPR’s form though has improved recently, beating both Wolves and Sheffield United at Loftus Road to lift them into mid-table and a place above their opponents in Nottingham.

“What a week for QPR,” said Prutton. “Ian Holloway's side were on a dismal run of form heading into last weekend but have gone on to take two big scalps at Loftus Road.

“Whether they can take those kinds of performances on the road remains to be seen, and the fact they're yet to win away this season suggests they might not.”
